Each day until Feb. 2, the final day of the 2013 NFL season, we're going to break down a Giants free agent. We'll analyze his season, his future and the odds of him re-signing with the team this offseason.

Position: Center/Guard2013 Stats: Played in two games'13 salary: $480,000

Giants backup guard/center Dallas Reynolds experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows in a one-week span this season.

Reynolds, who started 14 games at center for the Eagles in 2012 but was released during the offseason and signed by the Giants in October, saw his first action of the season in Week 16 against the Lions.

Starting right guard Brandon Moseley broke his hand in the first quarter against Detroit and suddenly, Reynolds was the next man up. His assignment? Block Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

Reynolds held his own. Suh finished with just one tackle and two quarterback hurries in the Giants’ 23-20 overtime victory.

The following week, however, subbing for starting left guard James Brewer, Reynolds was beaten by the Redskins’ Chris Baker, who rolled onto quarterback Eli Manning as he threw a pass. Manning suffered a high-ankle sprain.

In one play, Reynolds' encouraging performance against the Lions was erased.

Reynolds, who was first signed by the Eagles as a rookie free agent in 2009, saw his first NFL action in 2012, starting 14 games at center. But he was released last May when a new coach Chip Kelly took over.

Chance for a return: 50%

Why? Reynolds has played sparingly in his career and the Giants may feel he has an upside. He could get a training camp invite.
